Svaka velika priča negdje počinje skromno — i priča o Leticiji, kućama od trupaca, nije iznimka. Počela je s prvim trupcem, prvom dlijetom izrezanom spojnicom, prvim zahvatom koji se moralo naučiti strpljivo i do kraja. Upravo tako je svoj put u svijet drva započeo i gospodin Knežević — s ljubavlju prema materijalu koji ne oprašta žurbu i s jasnom namjerom da zanat nauči onako kako se nauči jednom i zauvijek.

Every great story begins modestly somewhere — and the story of Leticija, log cabins, is no exception. It began with the first log, the first joint cut by chisel, the first step that had to be learned patiently and thoroughly. That is exactly how Mr. Knežević began his own path into the world of wood — with a love for a material that forgives no haste, and a clear intention to learn the craft properly, once and for good.

Godine koje su uslijedile donijele su znanje koje se ne stječe preko noći. Rad u drvnoj industriji značio je upijanje iskustva, isprobavanje, poneku pogrešku i, iznad svega, strpljivo usavršavanje. Drvo je materijal koji traži poštovanje — svaki sloj, svaka žica i svaki spoj priča svoju priču, a tko to ne razumije, brzo to i osjeti. Iz tog strpljenja izrasla je sigurnost pravog majstora — onoga koji zna kada treba stati, a kada nastaviti.

The years that followed brought knowledge that cannot be gained overnight. Working in the timber industry meant absorbing experience, testing, the occasional mistake and, above all, patient refinement. Wood is a material that demands respect — every layer, every grain, every joint tells its own story, and those who fail to understand that soon feel it. Out of that patience grew the confidence of a true craftsman — one who knows when to stop, and when to carry on.

Danas iz radionice i s gradilišta Leticije izlaze cjelovite kuće od trupaca, A-frame kuće, sjenice i nadstrešnice, ali i stolovi, klupe i šankovi — svaki komad nosi pečat ručnog rada i osjećaj za tradiciju kakav se ne uči iz priručnika. Svaki je objekt drugačiji, jer svaki nastaje s istom pažnjom kakvu je zahtijevao i onaj prvi trupac.

Today, complete log cabins, A-frame houses, gazebos and canopies — as well as tables, benches and bars — leave Leticija's workshop and building sites. Every piece carries the mark of handcraft and a feel for tradition that can't be learned from a manual. Every object is different, because each is made with the same care that first log once demanded.

Jer kuća od trupaca nije samo građevina. To je topao, živ dom koji diše zajedno s prirodom oko sebe — s mirisom drva ujutro, sa svjetlom koje se probija kroz krošnje i s tišinom kakvu grad rijetko zna ponuditi.

Because a log cabin is not just a building. It is a warm, living home that breathes together with the nature around it — with the scent of wood in the morning, light filtering through the treetops, and a silence the city rarely offers.

Kad kuća stane, počinje druga polovica priče

Once the house stands, the second half of the story begins

Leticija nudi i profesionalne usluge obnove i zaštite drva: stručno brušenje kojim se uklanjaju stari slojevi i drvo priprema za novi život, po potrebi pjeskarenje, precizno kitanje kojim se popunjavaju pukotine i sprječava daljnje propadanje, silikoniranje te kvalitetno bojenje i lakiranje koje drvo štiti od svih vremenskih (ne)prilika. Kod obnove se, kad zatreba, mijenjaju i stupovi na terasi — dio kuće koji je najviše izložen vlazi i vremenu.

Leticija also offers professional wood renovation and protection services: expert sanding that removes old layers and prepares the wood for a new life, sandblasting where needed, precise caulking that fills cracks and prevents further decay, siliconing, and quality painting and varnishing that protects the wood from every kind of weather. During renovation, the terrace posts are replaced when necessary — the part of the house most exposed to moisture and time.

Prije završne obrade drvo se štiti i od crva i insekata, a temeljna i završna boja biraju se prema želji klijenta. Sve što se pritom koristi nosi jedno ime: Remmers — vrhunska njemačka kvaliteta, „Made in Germany", s čak 10 godina jamstva na tamne boje kod fasadne zaštite drva. Svaki premaz u tom postupku ima svoju ulogu — kao karika u lancu koji drvenu kuću čuva godinama — a ono što taj lanac čini, najbolje pokazuju materijali na sljedećim fotografijama.

Before the final treatment, the wood is also protected against woodworm and insects, and the base and top coats are chosen according to the client's wishes. Everything used in the process carries one name: Remmers — top German quality, "Made in Germany", with a full 10-year guarantee on dark colours in exterior wood protection. Every coat in the process plays its own role — a link in the chain that keeps a wooden house protected for years — and what makes up that chain is best shown by the materials in the photographs below.

Induline SW-910

Zaštita čela (poprečno rezanih dijelova) trupaca — sprječava upijanje vlage ondje gdje je drvo najizloženije vlazi, algama i gljivicama; stvara elastičan, vodoodbojan film.

Protects the end grain (cross-cut sections) of the logs — prevents moisture absorption exactly where wood is most exposed to damp, algae and fungi; forms an elastic, water-repellent film.

Acryl 100

Premium akrilno brtvilo otporno na kišu, za popunjavanje šavova i pukotina na trupcima; može se premazivati Remmers lazurama.

A premium, rain-resistant acrylic sealant for filling seams and cracks on the logs; can be overcoated with Remmers glazes.

Brandschutz

Protupožarna zaštita koja drvo čini teško zapaljivim (DIN 4102 – B1) i stvara sloj termoizolacije.

Fire protection that makes the wood flame-retardant (DIN 4102 – B1) and creates a layer of thermal insulation.

Adolit BQ1 · Aqua HSL-35/m · Aqua MSL-45/sm UV+

Cjelovit postupak — od impregnacije (Adolit BQ1) protiv kukaca i gljivica, preko brzosušeće lazure Aqua HSL-35/m (3-u-1), do dekorativne završne lazure Aqua MSL-45/sm UV+ s vrlo visokom UV zaštitom.

A complete process — from impregnation (Adolit BQ1) against insects and fungi, through the fast-drying Aqua HSL-35/m glaze (3-in-1), to the decorative finishing glaze Aqua MSL-45/sm UV+ with very high UV protection.

Od obnove do gradnje od samog početka

From renovation to building from scratch

Onima koji žele svoju drvenu kućicu obnoviti, nešto joj nadograditi ili je izgraditi od samog početka, Leticija stoji na raspolaganju. Gradnja je moguća u ROH-BAU izvedbi — u tri stupnja, od niskog, preko srednjeg, do visokog — sve do opcije „ključ u ruke", gdje vlasnici jednostavno preuzimaju gotov objekt. Koordinaciju izvođenja, dopreme materijala, opremanja i instalacija preuzima izvođač, a završni dizajn interijera personalizira se prema željama kupca.

For those who wish to renovate their wooden cabin, upgrade it, or build it from the very beginning, Leticija is at your disposal. Construction is possible in a ROH-BAU execution — in three stages, from low, through medium, to high — all the way to a "turnkey" option, where owners simply take over a finished building. The contractor handles coordination of works, material delivery, fitting and installations, while the final interior design is personalised to the client's wishes.

Novost u ponudi su i krovovi od slame i trske — tradicionalan pokrov za sjenice i razne objekte, koji donosi izvrsnu prirodnu toplinsku i zvučnu izolaciju. Riječ je o ekološkom, obnovljivom materijalu koji uz stručnu ugradnju traje dugo i ostavlja jedinstven, prirodan izgled.

New to the offer are also thatched roofs of straw and reed — a traditional covering for gazebos and various structures, offering excellent natural thermal and sound insulation. It is an ecological, renewable material that, with expert installation, lasts a long time and leaves a unique, natural look.

Priroda nas je stvorila — a što je ljepše od mira u prirodi, u vlastitoj kućici, s pogledom koji je odmor za oči? Što može zamijeniti odmor u našoj prekrasnoj zemlji, na svome, uz pogled i osjet prirode.

Nature made us — and what is more beautiful than peace in nature, in your own little house, with a view that rests the eyes? What could replace a holiday in our beautiful country, on your own ground, with the sight and feel of nature around you.

Jedan od projekata od početka do kraja — put od prvog trupca do gotove kućice.

One of the projects, from beginning to end — the road from the first log to the finished cabin.
